# EPF5 Dev Updates - Week 5
This week, I practiced running Node, specifically using the Geth execution client and the Prysm consensus beacon node client.

It was a great experience to see the different clients running side by side, though it took some time for the execution client to sync with the Prysm beacon client.

I successfully ran the clients on Mainnet, Sepolia, and Holesky Testnet.

## Summary of What I did this week
- Attended standup
- Watched some of the sessions from EthCC 2024
- Practice running of Ethereum node
- Spent some time going through Ephemery Testnet repository
- Started working on a draft proposal for Ephemery Testnet project
- Created a youtube tutorial on how to run a node

## What I will do next week
- Complete the draft proposal
- Get ready for project presentation
- Try adding Ephemery Testnet to any of the client. i.e Geth and Lighthouse or Prysm and further practice on interacting with the client on Ephemery Testnet

## Blockers

- I had some challenge adding Ephemery Testnet to the Geth and Prysm client
